I know this is unpopular and goes against the ideals of the early internet, but the open internet (especially social networks) is hugely damaging at the moment.
This isn't just "people having different opinions", but rather full-scale cyber warfare that's currently happening. It's also only going to get worse...
Propaganda works, and it works quite well. Nobody is fully immune.
So unless you feel like having Musk/Russia/China dictate your life (through forcing their shit agenda), banning their attack vectors is really the only play.
